What's Happening In Secondary

News and Information from Secondary

DCS Music Department

The DCS Music Department has been busy already in 2025!

 

First, the Secondary Vocal Ensemble has been formed. Twenty members have joined (7 males and 13 females), singing contemporary, gospel, world music and musical theatre styles in 4-6 part harmony. They rehearse Tuesday and Thursday at 8am and will perform at the Easter Service in early April.

 

Four members of the music ensemble joined staff to lead two selections at the Dedication Service as part of the praise band: Ezra J-M played drums (his first drum performance), Jayden K played guitar and Makenzie O and Jasmine S sang lead vocals. The positive response was enormous!

 

Finally, the Year 5/6 combined choirs will join the DCS Vocal Ensemble in a performance of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah for the DCS Easter Service. It will be a mighty sound in four part harmony with a few musical staff joining in to praise God for the gift of His Son, Jesus. All this would not be possible without the lovely accompaniments provided by Mrs Kristen Cox and Mrs Elsje Malherbe! 

2026 Year 7 Information Evening

Year 5 and 6 parents and students are warmly invited to join us for the 2026 Year 7 Information Evening at Devonport Christian School.

This special evening will showcase our innovative programs that create exceptional learning opportunities for our secondary students.
